Likewise, clam EATING!
But first you have to catch a clam...
(...the cup is for perspective - these are cockles)
then you scald them and clean them...
...grind them up (fee fie fo fum)...
and then....
you make a big platter of clam fritters and DIG IN!! Winter on the coast is all about comfort - crackling wood fire in the stove and good eats on the table, from our labor of love (cleaning clams is an art).
In the past I've missed the "grind them up" part. I enjoy clam chowder, and I think I'd like fritters, too. I know I'd enjoy both more with the texture soothed by the fee-fi-fo-fum process!
ReplyDeleteAnd tell the truth- that shipwreck composition MUST have forced you to get the watercolors out!
My mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of shells!!! This post also makes me appreciate all the work you went to on "my" clams!
